Forever Liberal, You keep confusing conservatism with far right extremism. There are valid points on both sides of the table, but following every single liberal belief for the sake of being liberal is just as bad as following every conservative belief for the sake of being conservative. Also, the best way to combat any ideal that you don’t like is to understand why people do like it. You have to understand its appeal to understand its flaws - and not just on a “they’re greedy so the like it” level.

As I said before, I have read everything from both sides of the aisle, and I have grown up around conservatives. I am not liberal for the sake of being liberal. I am very familiar with conservative stances. I am liberal because liberal stances follow the facts and come from rational thought and objectiveness.
